Re: [jornada] Using Familiar Linux v0.8.2-snapshot-20050325 on a jornada56x

Hi,

The sleeves will probably not be supported in near future as this is also a
ASIC problem. I don't need hardware, I need system specs for that.

I'm still in contact with HP to get the info, they are trying hard, but it
looks like they are very hard to get.
The Jornada 720 is fully supported, but not compareable to the 56x.

it also looks like your touchscreen is broken as it should not be that bad.

regards,
Alex
